Yeah. I love mine, but it takes a steady hand and a bit of effort - which is why I don't imagine he'd ever stick to it. He'd probably also try to make the damn razors last forever, despite the fact that they're cheap as shit when you're just buying the razor blades.
Just a reminder, there's a physical bank right here. It does look like it's closed at the moment (9-4).
Citizen's does have mobile banking, so he must've gotten paid off in cash rather than via cheque.

JFC. A normal person would have researched their options and chosen the tablet based on their needs. And if they made the wrong choice, would then sell the wrong tablet to buy the one they need. Lou expects the whole world to fund his mistakes (meanwhile here we all are funding his mother's mistakes).
Also, Lou, NO ONE ON EARTH needs a tablet. As someone who works closely with MANY successful artists, I can tell you zero of them got where they are because of a tablet.

Lou's next dopamine fix, of course.

I wonder how often Lou gets his big ham hocks stuck inside those money-boxes, scrounging for every last bit of change just like the junkie he is.

1. "I fully admit this fuck up in the name of transparency and honesty." So what Lou is really admitting to here is that he is so lazy and careless that he didn't even bother to do basic due diligence on whether the Android tablet could do the same things as an iPad before he got rid of the iPad, and now that he's realized his fuckup, he's immediately grifting to buy another iPad instead of doing the sensible thing and selling the Android to afford it. Or, even better, just buying a sketchpad and some colored pencils and learning how to color properly before he starts charging people for it. This really is like watching a junkie on the corner begging for his next fix.
2. "So my nickname is Blu. Self-given." That's not really how nicknames work, Lou. A self-assigned nickname is never going to catch on the way one that's given to you by other people will. Besides, we all know you'll be back to Diana or Ace within a month at the most.

He’s going to change it as soon as he realizes that we can just call him Blou.

His Blouted sense of ego couldn't take that, could it? Oh well, he's just going to Blouw another $600 on another iPad that'll be just as Blouseless as any other he had.

And this time Lou is not going to harass the seller/store because he made a bad decision? I'm actually impressed.
Let's also not forget that unless we missed some details, Lou still has an iPad with a Apple pencil so he really has no reason to buy another one, or was the iPad part of the laptop deal or did he manage to break it?

Okay, let me be an artfag for a moment and explain why Lou's latest excuse of file incompatibility is bullshit.
Idk, the moral of the story is this is the stupidest shit he's ever said from a digital art viewpoint. It's like saying that you sold your microwave to buy a toaster oven and then freaking out because you can't microwave food in it (though you can still use it to warm food quite handily).
On an iPad, Lou would have probably been using Procreate, which assumedly has its own file type and extension. On Android, idk, maybe Medibang Paint or something like that, I don't draw on a portatablet.
Obviously the issue is that one program can't open the other's file types. That's understandable, normal issue, I run into that all the time because I had to switch between programs all the time on my home vs other setups. But the thing is, what is Lou doing where he needs to even open old files in the first place? He doesn't draw. He paint buckets something once in a blue moon. It shouldn't be an issue.
When you're doing digital work, the big thing is usually that you're working with layers; the program stores the data in such a way that maybe you have lines on one layer, then maybe you colored your character on another layer, then background on another layer, etc etc. Think of it like those oldschool projector transparencies, you draw or color each bit on a seperate transparency that all the other layers overlay (and the benefit is that if I then decide 'no maybe I'll make this tiddy tiger blue instead of orange' you can just go change THAT bit without having to redo the whole thing). When you're doing a complicated picture (read, not Lou) you can add up a LOT of those, I regularly have 50-150 of them for an illustration. And if you can't access that file type you were working in, boom, can't access all that layer data and now can no longer go in and adjust all those layers even if you saved a flat viewable version of the drawing.
(pictured: layers, without them we cry, unless you're one of those crazy people who paints all on a single layer in which case you're very powerful and can fuck right off)
But Lou doesn't do that. I think he has his line work on one layer, maybe, and then just buckets everything in directly onto that OR selects from the line layer and buckets in on a layer below it. So he's... not exactly doing rocket science. Any lineworks he has saved are accessible on any program (you can just pull line work in as a flat png, which all programs can open), and since it would take like five minutes to do what he does I can't imagine there's anything that he couldn't just... redo. The only possible reason I could see him needing to access old files is so... idk, so he can reskin the colors on one of his tiddy tigers, and again, he could just redo it from scratch in five minutes anyways.

Lou the tech enthusiast who doesn’t understand that two different file formats from two different OS are not compatible “for some reason” 
Sure those stunning artworks he’d been working on were totally worth saving!

File types are the most basic thing when it comes to computers.
I shouldn't be surprised that Lou is too fucking stupid to know that his files saved in an iPad's program would be incompatible with whatever cheap art app he's using for his Samsung tablet.
Also, cha-ching, been a few days since I've had to update your totals, Blou! $370 as an "emergency loan" is like grasping at straws, even for you!

Darn, I hope he gets tired of that name soon. Our cat's called Balu and while he does come very much after his namesake (professional at lying comfortably anywhere and always checks your hand for food before you can pet him) he is nothing like this Blu ^^
Also, I don't think Lou is that stupid, he just needs his new fix. As if he had any bigger projects lying around that he can't access anymore now. That's something you'd consider before switching OS. At least when you actively work on stuff

Another...fucking...iPad. Holy shit. This is honestly getting ridiculous. Actually it's blown right past ridiculous and is firmly in "full-goose, 100% asinine, ludicrous, and insane" land. And no, Louie being "open and transparent" about his "mistake" does NOT make any of this OK. If anything it makes all this WORSE because it shows just how careless Louie is and how little consideration he has for other people's money. He just assumes that once he does his little "I sowwy! I scwewed up!" song and dance on Twitter that it makes everything alright and the money will come rolling in to "help" him fix his "mistake". It's sickening that Louie thinks this kind of behavior is acceptable. I really hope he gets called out on Twitter for it again.
I've got a Merkur Futur that I've had for several and have use it with Gillette Silver Blue blades, and it's been a great combo. Basically just let the weight of the razor do all the work and guide it where you want it to go. And it's forgiving enough to let you shave against the grain for a really close shave.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen Louie shave. He's gone down to a goatee once or twice, but it's always been just using electric trimmers to lazily shave down to stubble on his cheeks. He's never actually shaved down smooth with a razor in the past. You'd think that someone who identifies as a "transwoman" would absolutely HATE having something as manly as a beard growing on their face to remind them of their masculinity.

Don't be hatin', my Dude, a beard is the furriest he's gonna get. Now he just has to spray paint it blue and it's practically a fursuit.
Speaking of, thank fuck Lou has an identity crisis about what species he is every other Tuesday or we'd be watching him trying to grift for a fursuit. Which costs several thousand dollars and would also end up with him looking like a plushophile due to Lou's, uh, rotund figure.
Oh god, imagine the smell.

Actually I'm curious. Is it a Twitter thing where "oh man something horrible happen pls DM me" is supposed to be acceptable and not just an attention whoring tactic? This sort used to be mocked but maybe not these days.

I mean, it absolutely SHOULD still be mocked, I hate this shit but it does seem to be distressingly commonplace these days.
Maybe one of his usual idiots actually stepped up and told him he's being a retard about the tablets, maybe Boozy reached out to tell him to fuck off, who knows. The moral of the story is that it'll be business as usual because it always is, Lou can't keep him mouth shut to save his life and will go find some rando's conversation to turn into a slapfight.
